Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU1083
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-8610
CWE-ID:
CWE-388 - Error Handling
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated user to exhaust memory on the target system.
The weakness is due to improper handling of certain packets by the ssl3_read_bytes() function in 'ssl/s3_pkt.c.
By sending a flood of SSL3_AL_WARNING alerts during the SSL handshake, a remote attacker can consume excessive CPU resources that may lead to OpenSSL library being unavailable.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service on the vulnerable system.
Update the affected packages.

EUVDB-ID: #VU7657
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5335
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insufficient error checking in the stream-reading functions. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted OpenPGP certificate, trigger memory corruption and cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
Update the affected packages.

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5336
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper processing of malicious OpenPGP certificates by the cdk_pk_get_keyid function. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted OpenPGP certificate, trigger stack-based buffer overflow and cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
Update the affected packages.
